STOTT PILATES® incorporates modern exercise principles, biomechanics, and rehabilitation practices. The exercises aim to restore the natural curves of the spine and rebalance the muscles around the joints, with a focus on pelvic and scapular stabilisation and integration of all body parts. Modifications and preparatory exercises are available to accommodate different body types and abilities, making it suitable for sport-specific training and daily life.
Pilates strives to develop optimal neuromuscular performance by emphasising core stability and maintaining a balance between muscular strength and flexibility. Whether on a mat or specialised equipment, Pilates aligns with modern exercise science and spinal rehabilitation theories. It incorporates principles such as breathing, pelvic placement, rib cage placement, scapular movement and stabilisation, and head and cervical placement. Over time, Pilates builds body awareness, precision, and control for maximum benefits.
Elwira, the founder of Elwira Pilates, discovered the transformative results of the STOTT PILATES® method after injuring her lower back and facing potential spinal surgery. By avoiding surgery and witnessing the positive impact on her quality of life, Elwira became a certified instructor to help others achieve their fitness goals. She is knowledgeable in Matwork, Reformer, Injuries & Special Populations and regularly participates in the STOTT PILATES® Continuing Education Program.
Elwira firmly believes that STOTT Pilates can benefit everyone, whether they are striving to increase fitness levels, correct posture, or recover from an injury. Each individual's needs and goals are taken into account to create a personalised Pilates program.
